• Pipeline Building: Build and maintain strong relationships with candidates and clients to ensure repeat success.
• Target Driven Delivery: Work to KPIs and revenue goals, ensuring consistent performance.
• Full Recruitment Cycle: Manage the process end-to-end—from first client call to final placement.

• Attractive Compensation: Competitive base salary with uncapped commission.

What We’re Looking For

• Location: Based in Manchester with hybrid working (office + home).
• Work Authorisation: Valid authorisation to work in the UK (no visa sponsorship).
• Resilient & Driven: Goal-oriented, competitive, and eager to exceed targets.
• Confident Communicator: Comfortable handling objections, booking meetings, and influencing decision-makers.
